My hands shake for the entire walk back to Vincent's building, the elevator ride up, and the panic that doubles when I open his penthouse door. I take a step inside and find him standing in front of his window with his arms clasped behind his back in a pose so similar to one way he tied up the woman in the pictures.
Parts of me want to run. To get as far away as possible and pretend we've never happened, but I need an explanation from him. I need something.
"Who were you speaking to, Mackenzie?" he asks the first question, not turning from the window. His words are hard and I bristle. Who is he to question me?
I walk deeper into his penthouse sidestepping one couch and standing in the middle of the room suddenly angry he has the nerve to question me. As if I've done something wrong in this scenario.
"You tell me."
